Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
On November 7, 2017, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Dover Chemical Corporation, Civil Action No. 5:17-cv-02335.
The proposed consent decree resolves claims by the United States in the associated complaint under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA'') against Dover Chemical Corporation (``Dover Chemical'') for response actions and past and future response costs relating to Operable Unit 2 of the Dover Chemical Corporation Superfund Site in Dover, Ohio. Under the proposed consent decree, Dover Chemical agrees to perform the remedial actions, estimated to cost $7.4 million, selected by EPA. Dover also agrees to pay past and future response costs incurred by the United States. The proposed consent decree includes a covenant not to sue Dover Chemical under sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA or under section 7003 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (``RCRA''), conditioned upon the satisfactory performance by Dover Chemical of its obligations under the proposed consent decree.
